Pros

Cengage offers a competitive salary, provides company car, has good benefits. Also offers flexible hours and relatively small territories with little overnight travel.

Must be competitive, industry declining. Market is definitely challenging and company is always chasing the competition versus leading the industry

Lack of respect for lower level employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The relationships within departments are good, and managers look out for their own. Vacation time is reasonable and benefits are comparable with other companies in the industry. Long range company plans seem innovative and interesting.

Cons

Unfortunately, the money doesn't,t seem to be forthcoming to fund the innovative plans. Also, the Physical environment is miserable and employees are asked to do more and more work as headcount shrinks and management refuses to hire to replace people. Management positions are opened up much more often than those for people who do the day to day work.
